My 9-year daughter has lots of goals and really enjoys shopping and seeing live concerts. Wanting to teach her the value of money and how to earn things she really wants, I suggested we make a list of ideas she could use to make some money.
In the same token, we sat down and also made a list of ways she can make a difference to kids in need in our community. She is very altruistic and I always support her in efforts to help those in need.
Here are the two lists she made and I wanted to share them to help you with ideas for your kids to earn money and also help charity! She created these all on her own and I am very proud of the great ideas she came up with and look forward to working on these with her this summer. We already tried the garage sale, but she said it was too much work!
My Daughter’s Money Making Ideas:
- Lemonade Stand
- Garage Sale
- Street Drummer
- Sell Art
- Sell Candy
- Extra Chores
- Clip Mom’s Coupons
- Bake Sale
My Daughter’s Ideas to Help Charity:
- Wrap Presents for Kids in Need
- Give Away my Toys
- Donate Food and Money
- Make Cards for Sick Kids
- Bring My Dog for Sick Kids to Pet
- Make Cookies and Deliver Them
- Throw a Party for Kids
Have you ever sat down with your child to make a similar list? What other ideas do you have for my daughter to add to her lists?
How creative. What great ideas! You should be so proud of her.
Give Away my Toys my kids never do that
